Hikari knew very well that Tachibana Yui, as a certain type of '2D World' beautiful girl, inherently had the attribute of being easily coerced into submission when threatened.
Otherwise, before, she wouldn't have almost given in after being threatened by that fat pig teacher Kuwabara, but he really quite disliked this point.
And being spoken to like that by Hikari, Tachibana Yui's heart's tip couldn't help but tremble.
After all, it was someone she had a good feeling toward, hearing the other unexpectedly speak about herself in such a way, Tachibana Yui naturally felt extremely uncomfortable.
However, before the water mist in her pair of emerald green starry eyes could accumulate, Hikari suddenly opened his mouth again and said, "Lift your head, look forward."
Tear-eyed Tachibana Yui subconsciously lifted her head, then the sadness on her face instantly disappeared; her apricot eyes widened, small mouth slightly open, her entire face hung full of a shocked expression.
At this moment what appeared before her eyes was a scene that made Tachibana Yui incomparably shocked.
In the short time she and Hikari had been speaking, the two members who had just been waving baseball bats and charging toward them had already been knocked to the ground.
And in front of them stood a graceful figure with shoulder-length hair, heroic bearing and valiant spirit; this girl holding a collapsible baton with her waist and back straight like a long spear was none other than her good best friend Akane who had just rushed up.
Originally, seeing those two baseball club people grasping bats and charging up, and then Akane suddenly rushing up, Tachibana Yui had felt that things were bad. In her thinking, naturally, Akane would be knocked down and caught, followed by a series of tragic consequences.
But what she hadn't expected was that those two tall and sturdy, muscular baseball club members had actually been knocked down by Akane.
Was this still her weak and delicate good best friend, who, because her chest was too plump, would be panting for breath even just walking before?
A slender girl unexpectedly knocked down two muscular baseball club members in an instant, this scene naturally not only shocked Tachibana Yui.
On the opposite side, Takanashi Kou and the other members of the baseball club were also incomparably astonished as they looked over toward Akane.
"This… is this still that gentle and weak manager from the department before?", Takanashi Kou could hardly imagine that the girl before his eyes was the former Akane.
Although Akane's combat strength was surprising, at this time the arrow was already on the string and had to be released.
So Takanashi Kou couldn't bother about Akane's unexpectedness, instead he opened his mouth to curse at Hikari, "As expected, a pretty boy is just a pretty boy, when trouble comes, only dares to let a woman act, hiding himself behind."
"And those two wastes Okita and Okamura, can't even beat a woman."
"Keep going for me, take down that stinking woman Akane."
Under Takanashi Kou's command, another three or four baseball club members gripped bats and charged toward Akane.
Before, Tachibana Yui hadn't seen clearly, but now seeing this scene, she immediately became tense and serious, staring at the situation in front of her.
And this time, Tachibana Yui and Takanashi Kou and the others could be considered to have clearly seen how Akane responded to the baseball club members' attacks.
Graceful as a startled swan, supple as a swimming dragon.
Facing the siege of several baseball club members, Akane was dodging with ease; those bats kept aiming for her body and face, yet they couldn't even touch the hem of her clothing.
Instead, each time Akane swung the collapsible baton in her hand, one opponent would be knocked down.
Seeing this scene, Tachibana Yui opened her rosy lips in shock, her cherry-like small mouth now forming an "O" shape.
The baseball club members were even more incomparably surprised.
Takanashi Kou was also stunned; he hadn't expected that bringing a team today to trouble Hikari and Tachibana Yui would be so troublesome, that they couldn't even deal with Akane.
"Ran into a tough one, Akane's practiced, everyone up together!"
Takanashi Kou didn't dare wait anymore. He didn't think Akane could really fight all ten-plus of them alone, but he was afraid Hikari and Tachibana Yui would take the opportunity to run.
So Takanashi Kou and these baseball club people no longer spoke of martial virtue; the remaining several dozen all charged toward Akane, including Takanashi Kou himself holding a bat.
Seeing this swarm charging up, Akane's expression also became solemn.
Although her physical quality had improved after receiving much essence from Hikari, and after his training and instruction she had gained some combat ability, being able to fight several of these sturdy baseball club members alone was already not easy.
If she really had to fight several dozen alone, that wasn't too possible.
After all, facing so many people and facing just two or three was completely different.
Her combat experience was also very little, so in her heart inevitably there was some lack of confidence and nervousness.
But even so, Akane still gripped the collapsible baton in her hand tightly.
Just then, a figure suddenly blocked in front of her, separating Takanashi Kou and the several dozen from her.
———
Alone facing several dozen holding bats, Akane was also somewhat nervous.
But a tall and straight figure suddenly stood before her like a mountain.
"Hikari-kun?"
"You go back and accompany Yui-chan," Hikari spoke calmly.
"Okay~", Akane's tense body instantly relaxed; she gave Hikari a faint smile, didn't say more, directly put away the baton and turned to walk back toward Tachibana Yui.
"Hikari, you brat finally stand out, not hiding behind a woman, huh, huh! Today I will definitely knock you down, then let you see with your own eyes how we play with those two bitches Akane and Tachibana Yui!", Takanashi Kou sneered, but Hikari ignored him.
And seeing Hikari surrounded tightly by Takanashi Kou and several dozen others, Tachibana Yui in the distance quickly said to the just-returned Akane, "Akane, aren't you going to help Hikari-kun? They have so many people! Or should we hurry and run!"
Although Akane's combat power earlier was unexpected, Tachibana Yui still found it hard to imagine Hikari could fight Takanashi Kou and all those other baseball club members.
Akane, however, calmly smiled, "It's okay, don't worry. Didn't I just say, Hikari-kun is even stronger than you think, in every aspect~"
Akane truly wasn't worried; after all, when rescuing the Sakuramiya sisters before, there had been a similar group fight.
At that time, the number of people in the gym had been even more than Takanashi Kou had brought now.
Although the baseball club players' bodies were clearly more robust, how strong Hikari's body was, having received his full teaching, Akane knew better than anyone.
So she wasn't worried at all.
And just as Akane thought, facing so many blocking him, hearing Takanashi Kou's constant harsh words, Hikari's expression remained as calm as still water.
After all, with his physique, he could battle Miss Mary, a supernatural urban legend specter, for 300 rounds all night, turning the whole bed into a waterbed yet remain strong. These ordinary people in this number really weren't a challenge.
After casually felling the first to rush up with a punch, Hikari grabbed the bat from his hand and began a simple "musou mowing mode."
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Each time the crisp sound of bat on skull rang out, one of Takanashi Kou's people fell.
And in just seven or eight seconds, Takanashi Kou, who had been arrogant and threatening to break Hikari's limbs and play with his women, found that everyone around him was down.
Several dozen robust baseball club members now lay scattered on the ground, twitching and unable to move.
Only Takanashi Kou remained standing alone, like a solitary lotus in a pond.
"You just said you'd tie me up, then in front of me do what to Akane and Yui-chan?", Hikari walked up and asked flatly.
"I-I-I…", Takanashi Kou stammered, his expression barely calm, but his legs trembling like noodles.
"Say it."
"I didn't say anything! I was wrong! Hikari-kun! Sorry! I'm a piece of trash, I beg you, have mercy, spare me!", Takanashi Kou fell to his knees with a thud, crying and kowtowing.
He was utterly terrified, looking at Hikari as if at a demon king.
After all, Hikari's display had been far too exaggerated.
Akane knocking down several baseball club members had already been surprising.
But what Takanashi Kou hadn't expected was that Hikari, whom he'd thought a "pretty boy," had even more terrifying combat power.
They had surrounded him with over a dozen bats, and in seconds he'd felled them all, one precise hit each.
It was like the scene was on fast forward; Takanashi Kou hadn't even seen him move, only heard "bang bang bang" and saw his companions fall one after another.
This strange combat ability was like something supernatural; to Takanashi Kou it was no different from monsters or demons.
So his former arrogance was gone, replaced by begging for mercy, hoping to be spared.
Seeing him kneeling, Hikari shook his head, said nothing more, and without letting him grab his leg to beg, casually knocked him down too.
Now all of the baseball club's dozen-plus members, including Takanashi Kou, lay neatly on the ground.
After easily settling them, Hikari turned toward Akane and Tachibana Yui.
Akane smiled calmly, clearly unsurprised.
But Tachibana Yui looked dazed, her little face as shocked as Takanashi Kou's had been, but also faintly flushed, her eyes shining strangely.
In nature, strong males always had incomparable attraction to females.
Humans, though educated and claiming civility, were still biological creatures.
Hikari's clean, calm handling of so many, plus his bearing and looks, made Tachibana Yui's heart beat faster.
She'd already liked him; now that feeling was suddenly rising rapidly.
Seeing him done, Akane pulled Tachibana Yui over.
Before Akane could speak, Tachibana Yui asked with concern, "Hikari-kun, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Hearing her worried tone, seeing she ignored her childhood friend Takanashi Kou lying bleeding, and instead cared for him sincerely, Hikari looked at her for a while.
"Hik… Hikari-kun?", Being stared at, Tachibana Yui felt shy, looking aside.
"Oh, I'm fine," He shook his head.
"That's good!", She smiled happily.
Akane's mouth also curved upward; though Tachibana Yui had "overstepped" as the girlfriend, she didn't mind. In fact, she was pleased.
Seeing him glance over, Akane quickly straightened her face and asked, "Hikari-kun, what should we do next?"
She looked at the floor.
Only then did Tachibana Yui notice all the men still lying there.
"So many people, how to deal with them…", She looked worriedly at Hikari.
Her worry was entirely for him.
Facing the two women's eyes, he thought a few seconds, "Akane-chan, take Yui to my place, I'll handle it."
"Hikari-kun, you alone…", Tachibana Yui worried.
Akane cut in, "Trust Hikari-kun, he can handle it."
After taking the key from him, Akane led Tachibana Yui away around the downed men.
Once they were gone, Hikari didn't waste time.
He summoned Four Legendary Gays and gave Takanashi Kou and the rest some "ultimate enjoyment."
The narrow alley filled with "joy" and "happiness" sounds, and loud "strong man locking man" cries.
Seeing Takanashi Kou's look of agony, Hikari was indifferent.
He knew if he'd lost, the outcome for him would have been tragic.
So he showed no mercy.
